To all the workers at the Bowling Green plant

I wish you all a fantastic day! And, I want to say Thank You. Today is the day that a not entirely random selection of loose parts pop off the line and puzzle together to make the Z06 that my wife and I will bring into our home for the next many years as an intimate part of our family.
Today our Z06 get's assembled! Be happy Bowling Green, your work brings people joy! I look forward to it.

Hope that tour car gets built today as tomorrow is a Friday and they say that Friday is the worst day to have a car built.

(I have no idea who “they” are).

Just hope the quality control person is on his/her A game. My factory ordered car was a hot mess at delivery in regards to panels and gaps matching up. The entire rear end needed to be taken off and realigned. It's all good now but NO Corvette should ever have come off the line looking like mine did. Good Luck and enjoy your new baby.

I'm bummed that I couldn't be there today to watch it come together. Or to get the book or to do the Engine Build - all of which I would have done...

Wow 1917? You have a 102 year old vette - doesn't look a day over 90
